Where'd all the time go?!

In this episode, MC and HM talk time. It’s a topic that we should all take to heart. We all have the same amount of time in a week, so why is it that some are more productive/successful/happy than others?

It’s about how they spend those hours.

If you find yourself saying, “I don’t have time for [insert thing here]” the guys want to challenge you to change your words. They suggest following Steve Kamb’s advice and start saying, “[Insert thing here] isn’t a priority.”

That’s the truth of it. We make time for things that are important to us. All too often, we have became reliant upon making excuses instead of making something a priority.

As a special treat on this Black Friday and since we’ve been talking about time, the guys are offering a FREE resource from one of MC’s virtual mentors, Michael Hyatt. Hyatt interviewed 30 successful entreprenuer’s, best-selling authors, and all around high achievers and asked them what they do to achieve that level of success.

The result is this FREE ebook. If you’re curious about how folks like Dave Ramsey, Anthony Robbins, John Maxwell, and Lewis Howes start of their year (which results in massive momentum), you need to read this book.

Video Games and Law Enforcement Training?!

In this week’s episode, HM and MC talk, like overgrown children, about their favorite video game systems (and their requisite games) from back in the day.

Here’s the question though: Did all those hours spent staring glassy eyed at Mario and his kart (HM) or Mario and the inner-workings of plumbing, shrooms, and Bowser (MC) translate into being a better first responder?

What’s more, is there a place in modern public service for training that is video based/interactive?

NarCAN...not NarCANNOT

In this episode, MC and HM discuss the aforementioned real place in which the Powers That Be are considering providing law enforcement with doses of Narcan (or naloxone, if you prefer) for the sweeping epidemic that is opiate abuse.

The guys chat about the topic and, of course, HM (in his medic-ness) explains how Narcan actually works.

Do We Need Tactical EMS?

In this episode, MC and HM talk about HM’s recent trip to Nashville for Firehouse Expo and one of the presentations he attended. HM regales us all with what he learned about the need (or lack thereof) for tactical EMS in an active shooter scenario based upon the experiences of Florida responders during the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

What do you think? Is tactical EMS just a fad? Should resources continue to be allocated to that training “just in case” or would time be better spent elsewhere?

In this week’s episode, HM and MC talk about situational awareness for civilian employees.

Does your department employ civilians that are deployed in the field? What kind of training do they receive? Would they know what to do if they, say, saw a gun in a car whilst trying to rouse an apparently sleeping driver?
